Huge Pimple on My Neck Day!

To celebrate I did these drawings

As you can see in the sketch below, I repeated the same body position for the girl as in the top one 'cause I was into the dynamic "Z" shape I gave her, BUT thats not why I liked this drawing...  ...I liked the interaction between the two animals and how each of them have opposite expressions as their human counterparts.(grumpy manitee ala Brian Morante)



I know what you're thinking, but she specifically asked me three times not to draw her double chin.  I did my best.

These two were totally awesome customers

Coffee Shop

There's a place and time thats simply referred to as "Sketch Night".  I mean the coffee shop is called Filter, and we meet almost every Sunday around 9 or 10pm, but when asked if you are going to sketch night, we know exactly what that means. 

BASIL FAWLTY

This week sees the 30th anniversary of the classic sit-com, Fawlty Towers.
There are are so many reasons why this TV show is so universally popular. Firstly, the characters are so believable. Also, I think we all have a bit of Basil Fawlty in us. Most importantly though, I think a lot of it's success and what makes the phemomenon all the more remarkable, is down to the fact that there were only two series made!

While searching for reference photos of John Cleese, I came across this You Tube clip of him on Parkinson during the 1980's, explaining how the character of Basil Fawlty originated.
